is anybody going this sunday, fontana drag races? if you have been there before, can you give any helpful input, pointers. thanks

 

Street drags as in illegal street drags... if so here's the best advice. Don't waste your time. It's not worth it to see a bunch of inexperienced drivers put their lives and your life on the line.

If it's a legal event with experienced professional racers then my advice is to get there early for good seats and bring ear plugs.

 

^^true story, been there done that, waste of time for a quick adrenaline fix.

 

DONT WAIST YOUR TIME!!!


you want to race? join us on thursdays at irwindale and leave it on the track where it's safer...

street racing leaves to NO GOOD!

 

hes talking about fontana drag strip, were its all legal, 1/4 mile. the best advice i can give u is to be there by 5-530 am cause it gets packed. what mods do u have, i might be able to tell u what time u'll get. i was going to go but i'll be coming back from vegas that day.

 

oh ok...lol...that's right we had a race event that day....krazy is the guy you want to talk to about fontana..

 

Well like I said take option #2 but the wording lead me to think it was "Street" racing and not track racing.

Looks like this is the event. Ugggg 6AM!!

San Diego has the same thing at the Q. I'm surprised no one here talks about it.

yep that's the one....

 

sorry folks, i'm speaking of legal drags. san diego has not been open for drag lately, so i want to get my legal fix on.

 

you can tell me and i'll scan and post your results im tuned, no cats and full bolt on's. my dyno was 193hp, 196 torque at church's dynapack. my wheels are 215/45/17. so what do you think i should run? thanks

 

You should come out to Irwindale sometime.

 

what time do they run from. i work mon-friday, so i would go after work. how's traction there?, at racelegal it's 2.5 60ft average on street tires.

 

5-10pm people get there any time in between and some earlier. I usually get there around 7 or 8. I averaged 2.1/2.2 60' on the OEMs 32psi. It's good times there everyone is chill also there's king taco on site. Yum

 

king taco as in food? last time i heard of tacos at the track, they ended up being toyota taco(mas) i was hungry and sad

 

U would end doing a 14.8. The track there is horible. U should be doing a mid to low 14 sec. I do a 15 flat there.

 

so how did it go out there?

 

speaking of this event. I spotted a FM tC that was racing Sunday afternoon with the number "3524" on the 15 fwy headed south between the 10 fwy and 60 fwy.

 

i wasn't racing anyone? i drove up coasting, but was trying to get my trip, back to S.D. over with. so that was me, had the blue tape on lower corners. ohh and it was 3254

 

it's great to watch, but to race, not so much. they put you in groups of 100, and i was in group 5. i only ran once. i lined up and they told me to cut it off, since the boosted eclipse or talon, wasn't ready for some reason. thru me off shutting down, and then rushing into it. i bogged, hit fuel cut and lost. san diego is racing friday 6pm-12am, plus we have 2 trees, and can get 20 runs easy. they let you run nonstop.thanks for the input KrAzY17

 

thats one reason i dont like going there cause it gets to crowded. it wouldn't be that way if they were to open more often. I always thought of going to sd n race but its a long drive n its hard for me to get fridays off.
